3 little monkeys INSIDE

Sometimes we just need to have a "get the energy out" session. Usually, it's when the kids have been ultra-obnoxious during dinner and patience is running thin.Here's an example of one of these evenings we had recently:

* Have a spinning contest* How many legos can you put in the bucket with a spoon contest. Carrying the bucket back to the starting line in your teeth could be optional, but the boys loved the extra challenge.* How many times can you run around Daddy? 10 times? How about 100? Sam - mission accomplished.* Gallop, skip, jog around the kitchen/dining room loop. You're out if you knock your brother to the ground and then just keep going without stopping to help.
